For $279 I had very high expectations for this keyboard. This is a high-quality heavy keyboard with very smooth key travel. I prefer a little cushioning at the bottom of the keystroke, and this keyboard has no such cushioning. When you press a key all the way down, it bottoms out on hard plastic. Two issues cost it one star in my review: 1) The keyboard slid around on my desk. The installed rubber pads on the bottom of the keyboard do not make adequate contact with the desktop and the right-hand side of the keyboard would slip and slide as I typed. I added two 5mm tall rubber bumpers on the bottom of the keyboard (on the pullout legs) and now it sticks to the desktop without sliding. The manufacturer should have put soft rubber bumpers in all four corners underneath the keyboard. 2) The key caps are a bit loose and tend to wobble on their stems. This results in more keypress noise than is necessary. I expected the keycaps not to shift as much as they do. They wobble about the same as a $30 keyboard - it's not bad, but it's not great. In retrospect, this keyboard is not 10x better than $30 keyboards, it's about 3x better. So I only recommend it for keyboard fanatics.
Edit: This is a better keyboard than the

The feel is amazing, it's a rubbery feel that is bouncy and thocky, oh so very satisfying. Don't let the fact that these are rubber domes discourage you from pulling the trigger. If you are in the US and don't have the opportunity to test these out don't let that hinder your purchase in any way.If you're tired of the click clack from MX switches and want a change, and have the money to dish out DO IT.At $260+ at the time of purchase, i may have overpaid.Some say the 55g variant might prove a bit tiring if going on long typing sessions, but i haven't found that to be the case.WARNING: As of August 15, 2017 Keyboard came in retail box, no other shipping box or dampening materials included.DON'T GIVE THE SELLER A PASS, LIKE I DID. No keyboard worth more than $100 should ever be thrown in the mail in its retail packaging.
